26 ^aAnd he took away the treasures of the house of the Lord and the treasures of the king’s house; he took away everything. He also took away all the gold shields ^bwhich Solomon had made.

27 Then King Rehoboam made bronze shields in their place, and¹ committed them to the hands of the captains of the² guard, who guarded the doorway of the king’s house.

28 And whenever the king entered the house of the Lord, the guards carried them, then brought them back into the guardroom.

29 ^aNow the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

30 And there was ^awar between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days.
